Hygiene Environment

Personal Hygiene and Your Household Environment

Many cosmetics and cleaning products contain substances which are carcinogenic or toxic to our bodies. Try to use products which are as natural as possible.

Avoid permanent wave solutions, hair colors, toxic hair sprays, synthetic cosmetics and especially lipsticks made out of coaltar dyes and antiperspirants with aluminum. Avoid cleaning solutions, solvents, paint removers, and insect sprays.

If there is a microwave in use, leave the room while it is on. Avoid prolonged exposure to machines which emit radiation such as computer, video screens and color television. Sit 6 feet away from your TV screen, as TV pictures emit radiation, especially color sets.

Keep your home as clean and free of dust and mold as possible. Do not smoke or occupy the same room or air space with a smoker on a regular basis.

Remember that noise can also affect your health. Make your household environment as pleasant and peaceful as possible.
